Louisville Tops 'Cuse

Share:

The Syracuse football team (1-8) was held at bay by the Louisville defense, as the Orange fell 30-0 to the Cards on Friday night.

Louisville threw for 279 yards through the air and rushed for 134 more, while limiting 'Cuse below 150. Freshman running back Sean Tucker again led the Syracuse ground game, rushing for 93 yards.

The Orange defense held Louisville to just six points on their first three trips into 'Cuse territory, but turnovers proved costly later in the first half.

However, two fumbled kickoffs and a turnover on downs in between, allowed the Cardinals to pull ahead 20-0 heading into the half.
